The village today contains a pub, shop, craft centre, tea room and a large marina, ideally placed for sailing off the west coast. A second marina is nearby at Craobh Haven and the towns of Lochgilphead and Oban are well worth a visit offering many shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.

The location was spectacular with plenty to see and do. The house was so well equipped and comfortable for our party of 7 adults, 2 children and 2 toddlers we were delighted with everything. The sea was at our doorstep and quite pleasant for an early morning dip, even if it was October. A fabulous few days in a very special house. Many thanks.
